Your child gets sick. The doctor prescribes a drug. There are side-effects. You start looking stuff up. You dig out details. You have ideas. You look up known drug interactions.

The doctor hears from the researcher and prescribes the additional drug you were trying to identify. Your child no longer suffers side-effects, and makes a full recovery. Because this is America, you get a bill for $278000. Hrrrm.

French animation : Dix-huit kilomètres trois (18.003 km or should this be parsed as 18.3 km?).
